Waki blade thickness

[gk4ever2]

Was a standard blade thickness ever set for the Waki? Just recently I measured a black coated one and it measured .186", and another black coated one is .206". I never realized they were different, but if you look closely you can see the .020" difference. Thanks!

I can't give a definitive reply, but I'd say that some variation in stock thickness from batch to batch is fairly typical for Busse & kin in general.

RMDs came with variations in stock thickness over the years as well.

Agree. Most Busse / Kin vary a bit in thickness. I recently sold a coated (Tanker Grey) WAKI that was .20" thick. My Custom Shop satin FFG WAKI is .175" thick.

I have owned Busse Game Wardens of 0.125", 0.143" and 0.170". And I know that "fatties" of the same model tend to be 0.190" to 0.220". So I have to figure that this is by intent, given the various intended uses by future owners.
